The South Atlantic Coast region includes the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the U.S. Caribbean Islands (Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands).

The preponderance of the work is environmental restoration support. The restoration support is accomplished substantially through professional services of an architectural or engineering nature and other supporting incidental services. Services required may include, but are not limited to, the following broad categories:

• Assessment studies including topographic, bathymetric, ecological, hydrologic, geo-technical, geomorphic, contaminated materials, hydrogeological marine, estuarine, oceanographic, cultural, economic, wetlands and plant and animal community assessments. Supporting studies on the physical, biological, and anthropogenic effects of a proposed habitat protection, restoration or creation action(s) to be provided under the requirement.

• Field surveys, mapping and sampling which may require the use of boats and global positioning system (GPS) technology and soil, sediment coring and/or surface or groundwater sampling equipment.

• Modeling including hydrologic and hydraulic evaluations, surface and groundwater quality and quantity, sediment or contaminant fate and transport, tidal elevation, tidal current and wave models.

• Architectural services for buildings as components of environmental restoration projects.

• Landscape architecture services as components of restoration and coastal resiliency projects.

• Engineering services by licensed professional engineers in all required disciplines to prepare: project designs, basis of design reports, construction plans, and permit applications as needed for compliance with federal, coastal state and local regulatory authorities. This may include preparation of all required details, specifications, bid documents and supporting graphics.

• Limited construction services that include administration, oversight, and project coordination with NOAA restoration project managers or Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) case team leads.

• Consulting support services for the development of environmental documentation in accordance with the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), Comprehensive Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to include preparation of Restoration Plans (RPs), Environmental Assessments (EAs) and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), and other programmatic documentation related to NOAA’s habitat restoration activities.
